Early Wobbles and Crucial Partnership

South Africa lost three wickets for just 27 runs inside the first six overs, putting the chase under pressure. Bosch and Luus steadied the innings with a composed 118-run fourth-wicket stand, retiring on 58 and 54 respectively. Their partnership laid the foundation for the chase and restored momentum for the Proteas.

Chloe Tryon contributed an unbeaten 45 off 39 balls to see South Africa home after a brief middle-order hiccup. Pakistan fought back with Diana Baig taking 2 for 32, but they could claim only six wickets in total.

Pakistan’s Resistance

Earlier, Pakistan posted 229 all out in 45.6 overs. Fatima Sana top-scored with 64 at number seven, stabilizing the innings after early setbacks. Masabata Klaas (2-26) and Ayabonga Khaka (2-40) took regular wickets to keep Pakistan in check, but the middle order couldn’t prevent South Africa from chasing successfully.
